Success! New Steering Wheel (From Escape) Installed w/ Cruise Control for XL Maverick

[mttmaverick]

I changed out the steering wheel from a 2020 Escape. I bought it from the LKQ Junk Yard for $183.00. I bought a ForScan Module on Amazon for 30 bucks to plug into the lap top. Then I paid $10.00 to Forscan.org for the ForScan Download. So for $223.00 I now have factory cruise control! Much better than the after market cruise control and considerably cheaper. I had my buddy install it in about an hours time. It works great!

Nice. Lucky you had a buddy who knew how to do this. It would cost hundreds of dollar to find someone to do this.

Did the steering wheel come with the airbag or were you able to reuse the Mav's original air bag?

You use the airbag that is in the truck.

Yes that is my luck too! I don’t mess with airbags. I had my buddy from work do it. That is his full time job doing items like this in vehicles. It took him two hours to put the steering wheel on, install the remote start module, and programming.

Definitely have to disconnect the car battery before messing with airbags.

So I heard you can just switch out the buttons and not even mess with the wheel and is cheaper..

Ten dollars is cheap!
It's supporting a great job by the programmers, or would them charging everyone $99 (or more!) as regular software be better?

My question: does it show the speed you set it to when its set like it does on my FE?

Definitely have to disconnect the car battery before messing with airbags.

And then wait 30-45 minutes.

$10 well worth it. Support the Forscan devs and they will have motivation to make the product even better. Or just enjoy your coffee for the next 2 days.

Yes, it is factory in every aspect except cost.
